Your Personal Element is YANG METAL, which is represented by a SWORD, an ax, and, in a more general way, steel or any metal in its heaviest form. The toughness of metals is one of the main ingredients in the symbology regarding the Metal element in general and the Yang Metal in particular.

Since this is your element, it is thus natural to expect that resilience and the rare ability to resist to life’s most significant challenges and adversities to be emblems of your personality and your life story. 

The actual symbol of your Personal Element, the SWORD, suggests that your personality has a touch of inflexibility. Diplomacy might be found, if other factors suggest it, but it is probably not the greatest of priorities. 

For you, it’s vital to project a powerful image of yourself and never lose face! 

But let’s be clear, this exterior toughness does not mean that you are insensitive to life’s more human side, quite the contrary. Most Chinese masters would agree that your element is on the list of most loyal and trustworthy friends! 

Finally, another of your personality’s most remarkable abilities is your capacity to get things done. This really is your strongest suit, and you can spring into action without ever waiting for others to do something for you. This is all the easier for you since you do not usually mind too much if you might offend others or create enemies with your actions.  

Quite tellingly, some celebrities who share this Personal Element are: Jennifer Lopez, Adele, Charlie Sheen, Jim Morrison; Michael Phelps, Steffi Graf, Tiger Woods, Mohammed Ali, Elizabeth II, Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Schwarznegger, and Martin Luther King Jr.

NOTE 

Please note that your PERSONAL ELEMENT is not meant to explain your whole personality, since there are other components related to the moment of your birth that will influence you as well. The PERSONAL ELEMENT should therefore be seen as the basis, the raw material that will be shaped by a group of forcers, namely the PROFILES, which reflect the cosmic conditions of your birth.

The ANALYZER is your Natural Profile.

In technical terms, this profile represents a nurturing figure, maybe even that of a protective mother or someone who cares for and educates. 

As such, it is to be expected that you have a positive and friendly personality and an excellent sensibility for the world of ideas and culture. 

This energy you made yours can sometimes be attributed to your parents or an important figure in your life (in Chinese it is known as the “Noble Man” gui ren 贵人) that may appear at a particular relevant moment in your life, ready to help. In extreme cases, however, THE ANALYZER may be someone who exaggerates their analyzing ability to a level in which their need to feel safe surpasses their ability to take any action. 

Other assets include a passion for studying and an ability to both collect relevant information as well as to examine it. Your motto? Knowledge is power!

The FRIEND is a Dominant Profile of your personality.

The energy of this Profile is of the same essence as your Personal Element. This means that THE FRIEND has a lot to do with you, your abilities, talents, and self-confidence. 

If you’re born under this Profile, your resilience is one of your personality’s main attributes. Indeed, you can face life’s most difficult challenges and survive its adversities. It is suitable for you to use all that energy and ability to create new projects outside your own person. Otherwise, there is a risk that you might become a little too self-centred. In other words, anything that’s difficult is, in fact, good for you! 

Dealing with others, especially people around you, is one of the best ways to use up all that powerful energy! Your association with people will be beneficial for both sides. 

Think about it as an opportunity for you to understand the power you have inside yourself. At the same time, you will understand your ability to reach out to others and build a levelled relationship, where both parties will be equals and benefit each other.

This close and trustworthy relationship with others will allow you to use another of your gifts, that of being a motivator. Have you noticed you have a unique power to lead other people to believe in their potential and that their ideas of success and sense of accomplishment are not dreams but real possibilities? Exactly, so use it! 

For all this, it is more than probable for you to build, almost in an organic manner, a network of significant, relevant, and beneficial contacts. They will advise you and help you achieve your full potential. 

Celebrities for whom THE FRIEND Profile is more visible: Ellen Degeneres, Princess Diana, David Beckham, Steven Spielberg, and Barack Obama.

NOTE

In case your Natural Profile is THE FRIEND as well, these predispositions will tend to be more accentuated. On the other hand, the positive side of this Profile tends to be more noticeable when combined with THE EXPERT, THE PERFORMER, THE MANAGER, THE ENTREPRENEUR, THE OFFICER, or THE WARRIOR Profiles (either Natural or Dominant).

THE MANAGER is a Dominant Profile of your personality.

There is a pragmatic and realistic, in other words, a “down to earth” side to your personality that helps you to make things “happen”. The projects and plans you are involved in often come to fruition and become a reality.

For that to happen, you have a great need to keep everything under control.

On the other hand, you believe that the execution, within the deadlines, of what is planned is far more relevant than absolute perfection.

Another typical feature of THE MANAGER is their firm determination. Otherwise, it would not be possible to achieve the goals. Obstacles and problems almost always arise when one goes from idea to practice. Therefore, it is necessary to know how to react to these unforeseen events. The philosophy is: if a problem arises, one must solve it straight away!

Consequently, it is not surprising that your presence is quite desired in teams, both in public departments and, most importantly, in the business sector.

This Profile of yours might have a natural affinity with money and material possessions, though not necessarily so. In part, this has to do with your goal-oriented attitude, which helps a lot and, sooner or later, will probably translate into financial success.

Finally, one needs to remember that money and goods often appear in people’s lives as a result of different and almost fortuitous circumstances and not necessarily as a result of personal effort. This can be related to the presence of THE MANAGER Profile.

Celebrities with this Profile include Kim Kardashian, Tiger Woods, Britney Spears, Richard Branson, and Jacqueline K. Onassis.

NOTE

If your Natural Profile is also THE MANAGER, then these predispositions will be strongly accentuated. But the beneficial side of your Profile only becomes more evident when there is, as your Natural Profile or among your Dominant Profiles, one of the following: THE FRIEND, THE ANALYSER, or THE PHILOSOPHER.

THE ANALYSER is your personality’s Dominant Profile. 

Overall prudence and a need for safety are two vital features of this Profile. You probably need to feel safe and well-grounded before you move into action or venture into the unknown. Typically, those born under this Dominant Profile are experts in making their boundaries well known, a way of clearly defining their territory, creating a place they recognise and feel safe in. 

Positive factors that derive from this need for safety are your propensity and capacity to study, analyse, obtain information, and further your knowledge. These abilities help you feel well informed and, therefore less vulnerable. 

There’s another important aspect of your Profile not related to ideas or information but to people. Unless other dominant profiles contradict this, you tend to be people-oriented rather than task-oriented. 

In fact, this is one of your greatest strengths! Do note that this isn’t merely a pragmatic way in which you feel it is beneficial to cultivate good relationships with others. On the contrary, you truly value your relations with others and have a strong need to help them. Your capacity to empathize is astonishing! 

Being under this Profile also means you feel most comfortable when “preparing for action”. In other words, getting to know your grounds, studying, accumulating and managing information, and, last but not least, to contribute for a good emotional connection between elements of any social group (family, friends, coworkers).

On the other hand, you might feel less comfortable when it comes to “go into action”, something out of your comfort zone. But take into account that the presence of other more dynamic Profiles in your personality will help overcome this weak point.

In any case, your association with more outgoing and daring individuals will be beneficial. 

NOTE:

If your Natural Profile is THE ANALYSER as well, these predispositions will tend to be more accentuated. However, the positive side of this Profile tends to be more noticeable when combined with other Profiles like THE EXPERT, THE PERFORMER, THE OFFICER, or THE WARRIOR.
